Elliott Sadler and Wife Expecting First Child

Ai Wire/Matthew T. Thacker/Landov

There’s a baby-on-the-way for NASCAR driver Elliott Sadler and his wife Amanda. The 34-year-old Virginia native shared the happy news during an appearance on NASCAR Radio’s Sirius Speedway show last Tuesday, revealing that the couple expect their first child together in early March.

“I couldn’t be any happier,” Elliott said. “Amanda and I want to have a big family with three or four kids, so we figured it was time to get started.”

Although they kept the pregnancy a secret initially, the couple “thought it would be special to share the news with friends and family” in the days leading up to the race in Richmond last weekend.” Elliott went on to share that the revelation is the first of many for the couples’ loved ones.

“[We] have a special plan for sharing the sex of our baby with our families,” he explains.

“We are going to have the doctor put the sex of the baby in a envelope and not tell anyone, then take everyone out to dinner and open the envelope as a group so we all share the experience together.”

Elliott and Amanda were married in January.

I have to say it is funny to see people you know on this site! I’m from the same small town that they are and Amanda was a grade behind me in school. I had already heard about this from people there. Congrats to both of them!!

I like the idea for the dinner to reveal the sex of the baby. Then no one can feel like they were left out or this person heard first.

I have been far to busy to even watch racing this season and it is almost over, I am so far behind the times! I had no idea Elliott was even married. Congrats to him and his wife. I have always been a fan!

I had no idea he was married either.. To be honest, Nascar has been quite boring this year.

Congrats to them both!

Okay, this is really embarassing, but…When I first saw this post, I saw the photo first, not the title, and thought, “What’s a McDonald’s employee doing on CBB?” Then I read the title and the post, and put two and two together and realized that obviously he drives McDonald’s race car.
